| Coschem is the abbreviated name given to the Society of Cosmetic Chemists South Africa. We are a professional society for scientists and other individuals in the cosmetic and allied industries. We provide an opportunity to exchange ideas of common interest and ultimately offer education and training to our individual members. Coschem also endeavours to provide light relief during the year with social functions such as the annual golf competitions, the ladies day and the year end luncheon which brings members together to share in some fun.
Based in Johannesburg, with Belinda van der Merwe as the incumbent president, the Society of Cosmetic Chemists South Africa is affiliated to the IFSCC (The International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists).
Those individuals involved in the Cosmetic Industry are encouraged to join the society.
